What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[ExitLeft]

Be sure you tell them when you bought it so they can send out the correct instructions. They have made some improvements since Black Friday and the correct instructions might help. I bought mine the same time and didn’t install till maybe January and there were differences

That was exactly the issue. MC emailed me the correct diagram for the set I bought and once I was able to see the orientation of the bracket in the diagram it all made sense and bolted in without issue.

Mounted the 285/75-17 (34”) Ridge Grapples with Quadratec Hard Rock rims that I had on my JKUR. Look good and fit great on the JLUR.

OEM BFG KO2 285/70-17 on the left Ridge Grappler 285/75-17 on the right

Some simple mods today. A Rydonair 13" Antenna and the AVS Aeroskin II Bug Shield. Radio signal didn't change much. Not sure if the bug shield works or if I like it. We'll see....I should be done for awhile unless I find some 37's cheap. In the meantime. I'll be saving for the Rugged Ridge tube doors.

They are DoubleTake mirrors. We are discussing it on this thread here. I’d like to take credit for it, but @Moto_21 came up with the idea and I just went with a different styled mirror. So my thanks goes to him

Doorless Mirrors?

Haha you can take credit if you want. Youve posted a lot more on it than i have! Im just glad people liked the idea lol

Rolled up the top on my new Suntop tonight. Couldn’t be happier with this top.

I would like to think that there are other mirror manufacturers that make a 1” ram ball style mount? The possibilities are endless then!!!

True that! Lol can very well use the mount for anything!

Day 29.1

Got my GMRS Radios in. MXT275 for Jeep and a couple X Talker handhelds to pass out if someone needs one or I go hiking. Purchased my GMRS license yesterday. $70 for 10 years, no test, any immediate family member is covered by your license. More power, clearer signal!


Midland has 20% off right now! No tax, free shipping.

I was hoping the delete pipe wouldn’t be over 95db. I plan on getting one.

I had the Flowmaster delete pipe on and took it back off again. It sits in the garage as I type... I'm keeping it for when I put this State in the rearview mirror. My wife didn't like it anyway and it's her Jeep.

 

[Jo's Jeep]

I like the simplicity of the Delete pipe, and the possibility of a deeper storage cubby that opened up space would give, as was done in the JKs

I WAS planning to use the space saved to mount my Viair tank and compressor.

I just looked it up and here's a quote from JeepJunkie

"I just installed the dynomax tailpipe after removing my muffler. The install was very simple and the fit was excellent.
I took decibel readings (JLUS with premium soft top):

Stock
Idle: 60 dB (measured outside at bumper next to tailpipe)
WOT: 2nd gear 69 dB (front seat, windows up, top up)

With dynomax pipe and no muffler
Idle: 70 dB (measured outside at rear bumper)
WOT: 2nd gear 79 dB (front seat, windows and top up)

I didn’t go on the highway yet, but I’ll take dB measurements when I do (stock on the highway with the muffler was 72 dB). It is surprisingly quiet in the cabin just cruising but I’ll get actual dB readings later."

I think we're good. Honestly I think it's more pronounced in the cabin than outside the vehicle since jeeps aren't great at noise isolation. It's absolutely quieter than the exhausts I hear on mustangs, camaros, and ricer fart can exhausts. I can't imagine anyone hassling you about this. If it was obnoxious I'd be getting dirty looks, but nobody seems to notice.

Theoretically 70 db is 10 times as loud as 60 db (in terms of energy), realistically 70db is about twice as loud as 60 db at normal hearing distance.
79 db is 10 times as loud as 69 db (in terms of energy), realistically 79db is about twice as loud as 69 db at normal hearing distance.

So no, not surprisingly quiet....
Actually quite a bit louder, its like listening to music on 50% volume and then turning it to max.

Oh it’s definitely louder than stock, not arguing that which is why I said if you’re sensitive to aftermarket exhausts you won’t like it. I also stated it does have drone. I just don’t think it’s as loud as some of the other options or other exhausts on the road. The point of stating the db levels was to see if those is California could legally run this and it seems it makes it under the threshold.

OK I see, thanks.

I am more and more looking at adding one of these in addition to the CB. I think this is the year when we start to see more conversion away from CB to GMRS. Couple questions though.
1. Any antenna? Length still matter?
2. Do you need to tune the Antenna

Can I put a splitter on my CB PL259 and attach to both radios at the same time?

Tuffy makes a combo lock so you don't have to use a key.

Yup! I ordered it with the console, but I am still waiting on the lock to come in, should be here tomorrow.
